(Thu 7th / 7pm-9pm / free)
Amateur videos were once thought of as shaky footage of a baby¹s first birthday, but now they conjure the idea of being undercover exposés from community minded filmmakers.
Increasingly new media technologies are being used by people to address issues of importance that matter to them.
* What radical films are being made?
* Who are the new producers?
* How is this work exhibited and who gets to see it?
And more importantly:
* How can you get involved yourself?
This event, part of the Fresh Five Young People's Film Festival, will screen a range of work produced with this independent spirit. Invited guests will speak about their experiences of activist filmmaking, and will give tips of how you can take the power of the media into your own hands.
This is a FREE event, but tickets can be booked in advance via the Watershed Box Office: 0117 927 5100, or will be available on the door at The Cube on the night.
Event organised by Firstborn Creatives, as part of Fresh Five, the South West's film festival for young people. To find out what else is going on at Fresh Five look at
